Authorities have retrieved the bodies of the five militants, but they have yet ascertain their identities. According to ANI, four CRPF personnel have been injured in stone pelting by local residents. According to reports, the exchange of fire died down after three militants were killed, but resumed soon after JCBs were deployed to clear the debris of the gunfight to retrieve the bodies. The remaining two militants continued to fire at security forces from a nearby house, but were eventually gunned down in the retaliatory firing.
